The white supremacist movement is finding a new voice on the Internet. It's also finding a more violent way of spreading its message.
The first neo-Nazi website appeared on the Internet in 1995. By 1998, there were more than 160 active websites promoting racial hatred. Today,
the Anti-Defamation League ADL( http://www.adl.org/) estimates that there
are more than 500 explicitely racist sites on the Web.

While most sites, like the one devoted to the World Church of the Creator,
(http://www.creator.org/)are protected under the First Amendment, one site
in particular is drawing attention from the ADL and federal law
enforcement agents.

Whiteracist.com (http://www.whiteracist.com/)is operated by well-known
white supremacist Alex Curtis. On his site, he promotes a new ideology
called Lone Wolf Activism. It encourages devotees of the white supremacist
movement to act alone in violent ways.

Are people like Curtis simply exercising their right to free speech, or
are their calls for violent action responsible when someone decides to act
on the site's message?

CyberCrime segment producer and co-host Jennifer London talks with a
prominent member of the white racial movement, the FBI, and a victim of
hate crimes in a two-part special report on Lone Wolf Activism and the
Internet's role in promoting it.
